Wedding Day MakeUp Must Have - MAC Prep - Prime Review

We all want beautiful skin on wedding day. We all want to make sure our makeup will stay on for the whole day. We all want natural makeup and beautiful wedding pictures. Here is my review for this GREAT product - MAC Prep -Prime.

I've used MAC Prep - Prime as foundation base on my wedding day last year. My makeup artist was highly recommended this product. This is a superior product and it creates a smooth surface for foundation. The look is great on camera as well.
My makeup was stayed the whole day (from 9am to 11pm) without any major touchup. I only re-applied lip gloss before the reception started :) I don't even need to use oil blotter during the day :P

This product is GREAT. The thin white liquid spreads very evenly over the face, and creates a smooth surface for foundation. It absorbs nicely into the skin, also works great in place of moisturizer for any skin types. It works great at making your skin look smooth and matte.
This primer is best for normal to oily skin, and works the best at keeping shine away.

Here is the description of the product on MAC's web:

Bridal Emergency Kit

Prepare an emergency kit for your BIG day. You can ask your maid of honor to prepare one for you or you can simply do it yourself.
Below is a list of items that you can put together to create your own kit. As for the packaging, you can use a small white/ivory purse, or large organza favor bag. Personally, I think an organza bag will do the job nicely. (You can easily find them @ Michaels Craft store or Walmart)
